[Verse 1]

C                                Am
I etched the face of a stopwatch
                          E
On the back of a raindrop 
                                  F
And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass.

C                         Am
I heard an unhappy ending, 
                                     E
It sort of sounds like youre leaving, 
                             F
I heard the piledriver waltz,
                       C
It woke me up this mor-ning.

[Chorus]

N.C.                   F                        Dm         Am
You look like youve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel 
              E                  F
And sat in the back booth by the, 
                  Dm        Am               E
Pamphlets and the litera-ture on how to lose
     F           G             C           Am
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food.
               F                                             G
If youre gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes.

[Verse 2]

C                        Am
Mysteries flashing amber go green when you answer, 
       E                                     F
But the red on the rest of the questionnaire never changes. 

C                                       Am
I heard the news that you were planning, 
                            E
To shoot me out of a cannon. 
                             F
I heard the piledriver waltz, 
                      C
It woke me up this morning. 


[Chorus]

              (Strumming Change)
N.C.                   F                        Dm         Am
You look like youve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel 
              E                  F
And sat in the back booth by the, 
                  Dm        Am               E
Pamphlets and the litera-ture on how to lose
     F           G             C           Am
Your waitress was miserable and so was your food.
               F                                             G
If youre gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes.  


[Ending]

   C          Am  E  F
Oh,Piledriver
